Hello,
One of my users says that he has a page missing. He says that he made a page and now it's gone. He doesn't have a node number. Every account on my site has a "My Pages" link where the user can find all his pages, so users don't have to remember node numbers. Anyways, I checked the database. I searched in the table 'node' and 'node_revisions' and I didn't see any record matching the user's uid.
Is there any other place I can look at to at least verify that the page once existed and this isn't just a user error? (e.g. "forgot to save").
If you delete a page, do the records also get deleted from node_revisions? Does the fact that node_revisions has nothing mean anything?
Yes, my site has regular backups too and I'll make use of those. I just want to figure out if there is a trail somewhere that I can look at.
Thanks, Daniel.

Check the watchdog table; for D5 admin/logs/watchdog and D6 admin/reports/dblog is the path in the admin UI. I thought a delete was only a flag that at some future date a cron function would remove but I may be totally wrong with that.

I restored the backup and the pages aren't there. I suspect the kids just forgot to save their work. It does seem odd that a database error would wipe every reference to a node. I would expect to find something on either 'nodes' or 'node_revisions'.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
Cheers, Daniel.
